For all you nervous stock-watchers, a bit of advice on how to play the market….
If you bought $1000 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.
If you bought $1000 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock), one year ago — drank all the beer, and traded in the cans for the nickel deposit — you would have $79.
My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.
(Yet another e-mail sent to me by my Dad. He cracks me up.)
I wanted to post a “pacifier” comment on Jennifer’s blog, but the comments aren’t working. And there is no e-mail address link on her site. So Jennifer, if you read this, I tried posting comments on 2 entries and they didn’t post. Just thought I would let you know!
I watched The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc yesterday. I am not sure what I thought of it. It was, well, strange. It was good in some ways, although I really could have lived without the scenes of the heads being lobbed off of bodies front and center on my TV. Ick. And the twist at the end with Dustin Hoffman … guess I have a little higher regard for Joan of Arc then that. They made her look like a complete nut case. Who knows, maybe that was truly the case. Well, it was worth a few hours on Tivo (i.e., for free) on a Saturday afternoon while I cleaned out boxes.
I stumbled across this on Thursday, but didn’t blog it at the time – instead I just pur a shortcut on my desktop. Bin Laden and Bush chat on AIM (spoof). I have to agree with Naomi, it totally cracked me up. It reminded me so much of Shakespeare for the L33t. It just amused me.
I fell asleep and missed the last part of Saturday Night Live last night. I am so annoyed. Ugh. I was going to Tivo it, and then I decided that I would just watch it live. So what do I do? Fall asleep on the couch. Grrrr… what a bummer! Well, I guess I will have to catch it in re-runs or something. *sigh* That just won’t be the same though.
